Just Beanis is stuck in my head because some stupid fuck (with love) got it stuck in my brain this morning and now I’m binging Michael Jackson songs. I was too young when these allegations and since then I’ve read all kinds of things about his life, and I would like to know what you guys think is and isn’t real. I read bits about his troubled childhood, his humanity, and his apparent dark side. To me this man is a fucking titan of music.

Regarding the allegations I’ve read everything from him being a prolific pedophile to being a deeply caring and misunderstood man who wanted to help kids. Was this just a homophobic, racist hitjob?

What do you guys think?

    I tend to think that "where there's smoke, there's fire", and in his case there was a shit-ton of smoke.

    I look at it also in terms of what seems more logical and realistic:

    That he was 100% innocent the entire time and the victim of some grand conspiracy to sully his name and get his money, across multiple different people

    or

    He molested, at absolute minimum, 1 kid
